click & carry

As the creator of Click & Carry, Kim Meckwood is one of the many small business owners who are the backbone of America’s economy. She came up with the Click & Carry when she was lugging her groceries up several flights of stairs and knew that there had to be an easier way. And so, Click & Carry was born. It’s the first handle with comfortable gel padding that you can use to carry bags with your hands and also throw it over your shoulder for a hands-free carry. Did we mention its various multipurpose use from carrying groceries to sports gear?

Here are a few tips on how you can use a fresh idea to create a business of your own:

Fill a Need in the Marketplace– Kim saw a need for a simple cost-effective device that would allow you to carry bags without hurting your wrists or arms. Instead of being a damsel in distress, Kim saw an opportunity to create Click & Carry so that she could multi-task in a quick and easy fashion.

Love What You Do– Kim has mentioned before that she wanted to be her own boss after years of working for other companies. When you have a clear vision of your product and what you want to achieve in your company, it’s easy to do what you love. This doesn’t mean that things will always be easy, but being a true entrepreneur means that you take the roadblocks that come your way and continue to move forward. Persistence is the name of the game.

Get the Word Out– Being about to talk about your product wherever you go is a key aspect of being an entrepreneur. You need to not only use traditional media methods like television or web advertising, but also be active on social media to reach customers that now aggregate on those networks. Kim is a seasoned pro with such media appearances including spots on QVC’s In the Kitchen with David, Bethenny, I Want That, and Food Fortunes.

Help Others– Kim is the kind of person who will drop everything to help her friends and co-workers. This is also a reason why Kim loves to donate Click & Carry handles to Canine Companion, a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs at no charge to the recipient. How do these dogs use their Click & Carry handles? Click on the video below to see:

With Click & Carry handles on Amazon Prime, as well as Kim being a contender for the 5 Minute Pitch challenge, Kim is seeing her efforts to bring Click & Carry to the next level come to fruition. Onward and Upwards!

MAKE LESS TRIPS TO THE GROCERY STORE

Are you a freshman who came to campus carrying WAY too many bags? Did you parents buy you an entire aisle at Target just so you can fill up your dorm room with various items you probably won’t even use? Well, here are some ways that college students like yourself can use Click & Carry to help your better navigate all your bag usage during your college experience.

Makes Getting Groceries a Breeze
If you’re one of the many students at a campus where you’re able to pillage some cereal from the dining hall, bravo. You also might be one of the students who go on their weekly journey to a local grocery store/Target to get your essentials. But who needs the extra drama when you’re excited to down those ramen noodles while you’re texting, watching Netflix and writing your Humanities paper? Just put your grocery bag handles into your Click & Carry, flip over your shoulder, and glide back to your dorm room. Yes, you can Boomerang yourself doing so.

Carrying Food/Equipment to your Club Activities
College is the place where you figure out who you are, what you stand for, and gosh darn it, what clubs/activities you’d like to be involved with. Now, if you’re down with student government, the digital newspaper, or even improv, you will soon find out that clubs like to have meetings. Monthly meetings. During meetings, these clubs like to provide free food and snacks. The best part about these meetings is that there’s always leftovers for broke college kids to take back to their dorm rooms. Why not use a Click & Carry to make carrying those bagged chips and extra soda bottles a breeze?

Make Laundry Day Simple with your Click & Carry
Laundry day. For many college students, college might be the first time that they ever have put their dirty clothes into a machine. If that’s the case, why not use a Click & Carry to make this dirty and heavy process way easier? Just put your laundry bag handles into the convenient Click & Carry handle, twist, click, and just flip it over your shoulder. You won’t get those nasty rope burns and you can look way cooler than those other students on your floor who use their hands.
